Overrated.  Pretty sure I said as such as he was gifted his AA medal.

 

Hawthorn in their prime covered for his deplorable decision-making and execution.

 

Amazing how many B graders like Breust and Mitch Duncan  and C graders like Josh Caddy look amazing to simpletons with elite talent around them.

 

Robert Walls's view that champions need to have premiership medallions is neanderthalic in thinking.  Give me a Robert Flower in a pathetic side anyday.

I don't know who is a bigger outside reciever Bruest or Chris Mayne . Both played in good teams but cannot get near it when asked to win own ball!

It was directed at me, so obviously me.

Next time just don't bother agreeing if you have to preface your comment.  Not just with me, anyone.  If you're posting to agree then just agree.  Or don't bother at all.

I've highlighted your particular comment, but I see it quite often.

So arrogant, get off your high horse mate 

On another note, Jeremy Howe would be a reasonably handy addition to our defensive unit right now. I wasn't sad to see him leave, and he apparently made it clear he wasn't interested in playing down back for us, but I have to admit that he was tracking okay down there and BenKen hasn't especially set the world alight. Apologies in advance for any potential derailment. Frawley - boo.

Howe is playing at Collingwood exactly as he did at Melbourne in 2015. His lack of defensive accountability is shocking and beyond being an intercept marker he is shockingly shallow. Not a "dumb" footballer and makes some smart decisions, but I think his personality was shown the door more than anything, not so much his skillset. I never took him for being much of a "team player".

Had a funny convo with Bro'n'law over weekend ( he ex pie player to boot , currently coaching ) . Whilst sipping suds and watching the Aints Pies game many others were oohing about dear Jeremy  ( family reunion weekend..most are Filth )

Said bro , the more footy learned one inquired why I didn't rate wonder boy, why i was glad to see him elsewhere. My answers all played out before us ( and after game )

He's a selfish player who revels in his moments of flight. Has little to no offensive ability ( that does anything of use ). Is a constant 50/50 turnover merchant.

His comments after the game show his allegiances ;) (to Howe )

Has tickets on self ( should be punched ^_^ )

These sound like glowing endorsements compared to the commentary our defenders attract on here. Except Joel Smith. He's currently an automatic inclusion and sorely missed.

Don't always agree with you, but this is spot on.

We really need a post of the week contest.

 

Chip was weighing up his options and didn't buy in immediately. I always thought Roos moved on from Chip and prepared for life after Frawley. As a professional footballer Chip made a commercial decision and may have realised the coaches were happy with the draft pick compensation they would get. I don't blame him for that and wish him well. If he wanted to return (he is a good mate of Max) then it would be up to the club to get him back. Remember Croad leaving Hawthorn for Free (I think Hodge was the draft pick they got) and returning later to play in a premiership. I doubt very much this would happen but stranger things have and if it did I would trust the team at Melbourne to assess he was needed.

Jeremy is different, he wanted to play up forward and Buck's promised him that. It didn't take them long to realise that, it doesn't work, and Jeremy is exactly where he was with us, as an intercept mark down back. I suspect Roos moved on from Jeremy too and didn't think him made of the right stuff.

Bit off topic, but Hawthorn havent won a game for 8 months....just saying.

I agree there, I think Chip was gently guided to the door with a "do you really want to leave, oh well then" and I doubt that they were really upset when Howe left either.

Roos affectionately knew them as the beer snake boys. (Boxing Day Test)

Chip must currently have an awfully familiar sinking feeling in his gut as he tilts his head back to watch the ball sail high through the other team's goal. Still he did win a flag and become a Premiership player.

Somewhat ironic . A Demon does a Faustian deal then finds himself in Hell.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
